When Megan contacted me about doing a Missoula Montana rock the dress session with her and her husband, Scott, I admittedly got a little nervous - it's not every day you photograph other photographers (they are the couple behind Megan Lane Photography out of Helena). But they were so excited and so gung ho about doing this to celebrate their upcoming 11th anniversary (yay, you two!), I knew it was silly of me to be nervous, and more importantly, that we'd have a great time making these images. Plus, it's always fun to work with folks who've got a vision for how they'd like their photos to look (magical, fairytale, editorial - yahoo!). And ...
Montanniversary :: {Aaron and Sarah’s Missoula, Montana Anniversary Photos}
Last year, after enjoying my friend Ali's annual Montana visit, she and I couldn't help but chit chatting about how we needed to get her brother, Aaron, and his wife, Sarah, to visit the following year as well. This set into motion an idea that we'd surprise them with a Montana anniversary photo session to celebrate their first year of marriage. Fast forward one year and Ali and I were giddy to finally make this idea happen.

Celebrating 50 Years :: {The Hooper’s 50th Anniversary at Flathead Lake}
I met up with the Hoopers, their kids and grandkids at Flathead Lake in Polson the other day, as they all gathered to celebrate Don and Gayle's 50 years of marriage - what an impressive milestone! Their family had come from all over the states to help celebrate, so we wanted to make some nice portraits of all of them while they were together in Montana. And what a great group they were! We had such a great time, giggling and laughing as we made our more traditional images. And then, because it's Flathead Lake, we let loose with the kids and had fun with some yoga poses and cheer moves. Thank you again, everybody! I had such a wonderful ...
Family Fun on the Lake – {Seeley Lake 40th Anniversary Family Session}
I had such a great time the other day zipping up to Placid Lake to make portraits for this lovely family celebrating their mom and dad's 40th anniversary. (Side note: congrats again to you both - that's wonderful!) We had a blast making images on the lake, in the woods and down the path by their cabin in the woods. Thank you again for having me document this stage in all your lives - it was so wonderful to meet you and I hope you all had a relaxing vacation! On the docket: weddings, portraits and more weddings! Cheers, -Kristine ...
